Picnic at a park

The weather is getting warmer here in UT, and it feels so good!  After picking up the girls from preschool, we went straight to the park and had a picnic.  I spent many hours preparing the food for our picnic to make what’s called “lunchables”.  I wanted to run around the playground and play with them, but I wasn’t feeling the best so I sat and watched them play.  Achilles had a fun time going down the slide many times with Adi, and we laughed and talked about the time when we had just gotten Achilles for Christmas and how scared Ana was for the first two months when Achilles was just a tiny little thing.  I love having conversations with my daughters, and how excited I am for the day when we will pillow talk about boys and dating!  I have a feeling they’ll come and talk to me about stuff like that because daddy told them they can’t date until they’re at least 36.  

I have been feeling much gratitude lately, maybe because my morning sickness has been much better(I still throw up and feel nauseous after 8 pm, but that’s so much better than 24/7!), or maybe because I feel the little spirit of this baby that’s growing inside me and while little in size, I feel the magnitude of this baby’s incredible character and strength and I have so much love for this baby already, but I am so happy and grateful for my life.  Life is beautiful.
